Stories like LOTR and Harry Potter confuse me; I find it hard to fathom how someone would be so willing to die in order to save the world. I mean, it sounds really heroic, but it's just beyond me. It's different to, say, serve the army. But carrying the burden of the entire world and all it's people, like Frodo Baggins and Harry Potter, is an entirely different story.
Okay, yes, it's just a story at the end of the day. However, it manages to always create this surge of emotion in me, and the simple(?) question arises as to whether I could ever be brave enough to do something like that.

You do know that Mel Gibson, who played Braveheart ended up an alcoholic who visited prostitutes regularly. =P
